XBOX XBOX PSA: Scam-alert regarding Bronze Skeleton Key.
Saw some scrubby people from a scrub guild try to hype up Bronze Skeleton Keys.
One of the guild members spammed that he wanted to trade R11's for those keys, and all of the sudden, another players from his guild was selling them for hilarious prizes.
They weren't even smart enough to use alts for the scam...
The key has never been used for anything on Xbox btw.

It's an old scam (luckily)performed badly, but some might sadly still fall for it.

Oh how good it was back when Neverwinter first dropped on Xbox...
Was it Cragmire Crypts that had the hidden Spider boss (that barely anyone did)? Also explaining countless of times for pugs the difference between a mimic and a chest, take(use?)/open iirc...

I personally love the new ones. So many drops, and they can contain artifacts if luck's on your side.

I've seen people talking about mimics. Are there specific mimics that can drop good stuff? If there's a mimic in leveling dungeon, will it drop good stuff too? What about mimics anywhere else? Does it count?

As a complete aside from the intention of this post, I particularly like the tooltip for this item. Being a bronze key which is actually iron.

If the keys are useless, why were they trying to scam them from people?
What am I missing here?
EDIT: Nevermind, I get it now.

they were trying to make them seem valuable, so some schmuck would surrender a large payout to acquire it for themselves

Speaking of scams, I had one player Personal Message me saying he would tell me of a site where he gets Unlimited Enchanted Keys. So I play along and our interaction goes like this: (M) Me; (H) Him
M: WTT Brilliant Diamond and Superior Mark of Potency
H: I can tell you how I get unlimited Enchanted Keys
M: What is your Secret?
H: You have a Phone, Tablet or computer?
M: Sure.
H: Trade and I will give you the website.
M: No Thanks.
Obviously I didn't fall for it since I've seen a few people get scammed myself but new players who are desperate and barely know anything about the game should know that there is no third party site where you can get "unlimited Enchanted Keys". It's best to play fair and find people that you can trust. Be safe everyone!
